Out to Sea

Out to Sea
Nothing prettier than a sunset.

I think Im a member of a Cult...and other observations.

Being an Alabama fan means a little bit more to me than most other members of the 'Nation. A few examples if I could:

1- I own 9 different Alabama Hats
2- I own Bama glassware as well as a coozie
3- I have 14 shot glasses that represent either the state or the University
4- I cried before and after the National Anthem was played this past week again Auburn.
5- 3 Jerseys
6- I don't just talk to the TV during a game...I ask it questions.
7- I have taught my daughter to say "Roll Tide" upon request.
8- I am a member or 4 different sites dedicated to Alabama sports
9- Yes....I have car flags and magnets
10- Someday very soon, my love and I are headed to Tuscaloosa to complete our education.

**Does this sound like a normal person...or someone in a trance..or even a cult?** Either way, I don't care. We are 12-0 baby....whoo hoooo. Sick, just sick.

Taking a break from Finals right now. My brain aches. Ive revised one paper, rewritten another, and flat out created one more for extra credit. All told.....24 sheets of paper, and nearly 5,000 words. The worst part is I have today and tomorrow to cram for two other classes...and have one more paper to write. Ugh.

My 80 something year old Nana continues to amaze me. She decided at the last minute to whip up a Thanksgiving dinner for my brood, and then kept the Emmamonster overnight this past Saturday. I think the Fountain of Youth is her bathroom sink.

My lil sis will be here with her new hubby in a couple of weeks and I am already trying to come up with a cocktail that will impress her. Also, there will be a cranium rematch between her and Evan and me and Bonnie. As you might expect, my team won the first time.

If you like thriller type books, check out "Divine Justice," by Daniel Baldacci. I got it on AudioBook and it's pretty good.

I must comment on Phat Fulmer's demise and the RISE of Lane Kiffin. This fire/hire is going to be a disaster. I can see Saban, Spurrier, and Urban Meyer licking their chops to get a hold on this 33 year old who has never coached in college before...nevermind the SEC.

My dad is a career loser. I mean if his life was parallel to a football team...he'd be Vanderbilt....without this season. Emma calls him twice over Thanksgiving and he can't put down his beer to call his only granddaughter. I know I can't stand the ass, but to ignore the most precious thing to ever grace his crappy life. Jeeez.

The Emmamonster has a new crush. She did have a little one on Brian Smith...aka...Weatherboy, but a new man has graced her little life....my friggin cousin David. You have got to be kidding me. Im not worried about them being cousins at this point..She is 8 you know, but anybody but CousinDave.

Fantasy Football alert....I finished in the playoffs for the 6 consecutive season and can advance to the finals with a win the next two weeks.

Bonnie has me not eating meat. I must be losing it completely. I do have to admit to the fact that the little fake burgers and chicken patties taste pretty much the same. Also, I have lost 6 pounds, so who knew.

Well, that's it for know. I know I have been slack in getting these put up, but duty calls. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Ill be putting more up very soon. Roll Tide.

OK, don't just say you and Bonnie won in Cranium without an little background explanation....

First of all, we were in sudden death overtime tie break mode, and I swear on my only pair of nice shoes, that Evan said "Paparazzi" in charades half a second before you did. I still challenge that Evan and I won.

P.S. I think Bonnie will agree that the cocktail of choice should be "Death in the Afternoon." ha!

Oh, and I laughed really hard at Nana's bathroom sick because that is so true.

sour grapes sis. Ive still got the sheet of paper with both your signatures acknowledging my victory. Next time, it will be a blowout, so there will be no excuses.

Well, Evan and I got the new Cranium "Wow" game with more challenging charades, scuplterades, humdingers, cloodles, and sensosketches. And we've been practicing...

So watch out. Team Shipp is ready.
